Very rudimentary, but here it is (APIHelper.pm is attached):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Frontier::Client;
use APIHelper qw/get_frontier_connection/;

my $host        = 'https://satellite.example.com';
my $user        = 'spacewalkadmin';
my $password    = 'adminpassword';
my $target_user = '';
my $target_pass = '';
my $fname       = '';
my $lname       = '';
my $email       = '';

my $usage = <<EOF;
Usage: $PROGRAM_NAME --host HOSTNAME --user USERNAME --password PASSWORD
- --target TARGET_USERNAME --targetpass TARGET_PASSWORD --fname FIRST_NAME

EOF

GetOptions(

    "user:s"       => \$user,

    "email=s"      => \$email,
) or die $usage;

die $usage
  unless ( $host
    and $user
    and $password
    and $target_user
    and $target_pass
    and $fname
    and $lname
    and $email );

my $conn = get_frontier_connection($host);

## auth
my $session = $conn->call( 'auth.login', $user, $password );

my $success =
  $conn->call( 'user.create', $session, $target_user, $target_pass, $fname,
    $lname, $email, '1' );
print "Create Success: $success\n";
